U.S. law and public policy regarding environmental noise are described in United States Office of Noise Abatement and Control, Public Health and Welfare Criteria for Noise (1973). A wealth of data is accumulated in Cyril M. Harris (ed.), Handbook of Acoustical Measurements and Noise Control, 3rd ed. (1998). Noise control applications are examined in David A. Bies and Colin H. Hansen, Engineering Noise Control: Theory and Practice (2009); István L. Vér and Leo L. Beranek (eds.), Noise and Vibration Control Engineering: Principles and Applications, 2nd ed. (2006); and Lewis H. Bell and Douglas H. Bell, Industrial Noise Control: Fundamentals and Applications, 2nd ed., rev. and expanded (1994).
